Hash Algorithm Information
Secure Algorithms (Recommended)
SHA-256: Most widely used, excellent security, 256-bit output
SHA-384: Higher security than SHA-256, 384-bit output
SHA-512: Highest security in SHA-2 family, 512-bit output
Legacy Algorithms (Not Recommended)
MD5: Fast but cryptographically broken, vulnerable to collisions
SHA-1: Deprecated due to collision vulnerabilities
